GIVE DAD A FATHER’S DAY FISHING TRIP COUPON

If you’d like to have something for Dad to unwrap this Father’s Day, the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) is offering Anglers’ Legacy Ambassadors a Father’s Day Coupon to encourage participation in recreational boating and fishing for the upcoming holiday.

This easy-to-print coupon is a reminder to outdoor enthusiasts to share these activities with loved ones and newcomers. Angling dads can also use it as a way to tell someone how they really want to celebrate the holiday – on the water. All you need to do is follow this link:

“Father’s Day is a great opportunity to pass on the legacy of the sport to the next generation of boaters and anglers,” said RBFF President and CEO Frank Peterson. “Many anglers today learned to fish from their fathers. This is an opportunity for those anglers to do the same with the next generation. And as we introduce newcomers to boating and fishing, we help preserve our waterways and generate funds for conservation.”

Need to know where to go? The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) has an easy-to-use online “Angler Information Guide.” Just go to ndow.org and click on the region of the state you want to fish, and you’ll see some of the state’s 79 most popular waters identified. Click on the name of the water and you’ll be taken to a page that**----------- shows the water’s history, depth, species of fish, bait recommendations, biologist forecasts, plus directions and access information.

You can pick up a regional fishable waters map or a How to Fish in Nevada book and add them to your Father's Day package for Dad. The fishable waters maps identify the more than 650 fishable streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs throughout Nevada while the How to Fish in Nevada book details the tricks of the trade from successful anglers in the state. Both are available free of charge at any NDOW office.

RBFF is a nonprofit organization established in 1998 to increase participation in recreational angling and boating. RBFF helps people discover, share and protect the legacy of boating and fishing through national outreach programs including the Take Me Fishing campaign and Anglers’ Legacy.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, and promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW’s wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen’s license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear. Support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org.
